“It’s weird how much people change...
It’s kind of sad, if you think about it. Like there’s no continuity in people at all.

That’s what I want.” Her anger dissolved at his sincerity. “Mister, can’t you understand that’s impossible?” “Anything’s possible.” “You don’t have any idea who and what I am other than what you’ve created in your own mind.” “Then tell me.”
